Prayers for Baby and Family

Last Saturday was the Seventh month of my pregnancy. In Javanese
tradition we held “mitoni/ tingkeban” for our upcoming baby. We held this on my
parent’s house. As husband and wife, as we live nearby both of our parent, we never
held events just two of us yet hehehe…

In my neighborhood the special on “mitoni” was the type of snacks
which given to attendants. We prepared seven sorts of tuber crops, cendol,
rujak, fruit, pasung, pleret, and procot. What a name…

Every snacks had its own mean and philosophy. In Facts, its just
symbol, we only put believe in Alloh SWT :D

The event was so exhausting, hectic but happy. We were all happy can
share our happiness with big families and neighbor. Baby was happy too, at
least those kicks told me so, he kicked me most of time at that day! Hahaha…

In 3 months ago, We also held “4 bulanan” in my in law’s house. This ceremony
aimed to give a prayer for baby of mine due to at the 120th days
pregnancy Alloh sent “ruh” inside this fetus. We read Quran Surah Yusuf and
Maryam with families and attendants.

Every events for baby and mama always makes me so teary. I wonder how
much love from family for us and remind me and husband that we’re going to be parent
soon. My Alloh always lead us to better one in future.
